Ferreting Seasons!

[olliedakennard 0]

Hi guys and girls,

I have been ferreting for two years now. Some people believe there is a special time for ferreting e.g the winter because th rabbits dont breed as much then. But i feel this is not true as rabbits breed all year round i have small nets for ferreting with small mesh holes in case i run into a burrow with babies.

 

Enough about my thoughts what are youres?????

Any tips comments or just advise welcome!

Really only stop ferreting May ,june and July and if theres rabbit problem we can deal with it another way .Got to keep your permission

brwaaa like it !!! mate if there is any young the ferts will make short work of em , you can work all year round but be prepared to dig a lot

i work mine all year round. if i come across a section that is overgrown i get the petrol hedge cutter out the week before & clear as much as possible.

 

the majority of farmers who i control for wouldnt be too happy if they didnt see me there all year round.. when it comes to burrows that are impossible to get to i get the rimmy out with the nv & make a night of it..
